In my opinion, the situation is very similar with the Cartier Calibre Diver. Rolex’s Submariner started life as a professional dive watch, but today is something that is so much better made than the original, but also an item that its owners are much more inclined to baby. This is merely the latest in a long line of high-end timepieces meant to suggest a sporty lifestyle even if the owner’s idea of going diving is just a dip in the pool. Let’s first start with the premise that most luxury watch brands love the idea of having sport watches, and this is by no means a first for Cartier. CRW7100052 (aka W7100052) in solid 18k rose gold diving? Neither would I, but they do offer a steel version if you feel that submerging your Cartier in ocean water is a good idea. So would you take this Cartier Calibre ref. Now, with the Calibre Diver (originally debuted here), Cartier takes that sense of sport even further with a version of the Calibre specifically meant for diving. When the original Cartier Calibre watch came out (reviewed here), I was sure to point out the sporty/dress lifestyle nature of the design.
